Type: Copic Acrea is a water-based paint marker that utilizes pigment ink, making it suitable for various applications such as illustration, art, decoration, and writing.
Colour Range: The markers come in 24 opaque shades, including colours from snow-white to vibrant pastels and shiny finishes.
Versatility: Designed to work on multiple surfaces, including paper, glass, iron, plastic, and fabric, Copic Acrea allows artists to draw over existing Copic alcohol markers, enhancing creative possibilities.
Ink Flow: The markers are lightweight with an easy grip, ensuring a seamless and smooth ink flow for a flat and streak-free application.
Preparation
Shake the Marker: Before use, shake the marker with the cap on to mix the ink thoroughly. This ensures consistent color and flow.
Test the Nib: If the ink appears too light, gently wipe the nib with a tissue to remove any excess residue from previous uses.
Application Techniques
Surface Selection: Copic Acrea markers can be used on a variety of surfaces including:
Paper (preferably smooth for best results)
Glass
Plastic
Fabric
Ceramics
Canvas
Layering with Other Markers:
It is recommended to use Copic alcohol-based markers (like Sketch or Ciao) first for colouring, then apply Acrea markers on top. This prevents damage to the alcohol marker nibs and allows for effective highlighting and detailing with the opaque Acrea ink.
Drawing and Writing: The fine 0.8mm nib allows for intricate detailing, providing a smooth ink flow for seamless drawing or writing experiences.
Tips for Best Results
Opacity: The Acrea markers are fully opaque, which means they can cover underlying colours effectively. This makes them ideal for adding highlights over darker colors or patterns created with alcohol markers.
Drying Time: Once applied, Acrea ink is waterproof when dry, making it suitable for mixed media projects without bleed-through concerns.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Nib: Regularly clean the nib to maintain optimal performance and prevent colour contamination.
Storage: Store markers horizontally to keep the ink evenly distributed.
